Like Frank says, all the ones that the media grabbed on were proven to be either the floormats, idiot drivers, or drivers looking to make a quick buck or two. Now that they have been exposed, the issue has gone away.
thats right. And the non knowing here refuse to believe that. Heck, I had a neighbor telling me 2 nights ago that he was told by an 'expert' that its satellite signals that is causing the runaway Toyotas! Imagine the stupidity in that.

I've heard about some odd so called explanations but considering todays highly sophisticated electronically controlled vehicles, they can't be ruled out.
I'm not an engineer, are you?
You really don't have to defend Toyota so hard. When Pintos were blowing up left and right did you hear all the Ford guys saying "gee whiz it must be the drivers fault for stopping suddenly and getting rear ended".
to bad Im not a toyota fanboy(whatever that is) I just know what it right is right..
Go back and reread the whole report. The final outcome was the floormat.. period.. One a report has been issued, the investigation is over.
The investigation is not over. That was a police report, not an NHTSA report. On page 28, it clearly states that they did not do a thorough investigation. You just want it buried, but the facts are the facts.

If it was never an issue why does the Department of Transportation want to fine Toyota $16 million for waiting four months to issue a recall for a problem they knew existed?
